When CentOS 5.1 is released and you run yum update, all of the newer 
packages that comprise CentOS 5.1 will be downloaded and installed, which 
will upgrade you to CentOS 5.1.  At which time, when you boot with the 
CentOS 5.1 kernel, you should see an 'eth1' device which will be your 
wireless nic.
